chapter 9

dear diary,

 Jack and ralph are having a large feast and me and ralph are invited. When we got there the boys were running around acting like savages and they had painted faces and all. These guys have no chance of survival, they have no shelter at all. We asked them what they were going to do in case of a storm and all they did was run around dancing in circles being all loud as if everything was just a game.

 

Something was creeping through the bushes and the hunters went to go attack it because they were thinking that it was the beastie. Whatever it was pushed down the rocks down to the ocean. Come to find out the thing was SIMON!!!

 

Man what did they do, what did we do!? We killed our very own Simon. Man oh man why, why, why. I knew this was getting to far we can't handle being out here what have we come to? We have really gone mad! I can't take this anymore it has gone too far, I just want to go home.

chapter 8

dear diary,

Out of nowhere the boys got into ANOTHER argument about how there is a beastie on a mountain. Jack was calling Ralph a coward and says he wants to go on by himself and like always he leaves all mad.

 

I decided to try and make Ralph feel better since he is my friend. I told him that he wouldn't survive without him. Ralph ended up feeling better. Jack went and made his own tribe with his hunters. These boys are not safe, I think that they are very dangerous and I'm not sure what to do next.

 

Hopefully they won't try to hurt us and do something crazy. I wish the guys cared about what I had to say. I think someone is going to try to gain control and take over, but hopefully they stay calm.

chapter 7

dear diary,


    

The boys finally came back and man I didn’t think handling the littluns would be so tiring. Ralph was telling me how when he went out he slaughtered a pig and boy did he seem excited. He even told me how he went out to go on the search for the beastie, but of course when we went to have a meeting and an argument broke out.

 

 

 

The meeting was about who should lead. Everyone was scared to even speak their minds because of what jack might have to say or do. Then jack went off mad and ralph tried to help and stop him but he just didn’t want to listen.

 

I don’t know what to do or what's going to happen next.  Think I might just mind my business and stay out of the way, I mean that’s what they all want me to do anyways. I wonder if jack is going to come back, hopefully he does. 

chapter 6

dear diary,

Okay so, Sam and Eric said that they seen the beastie and it sound terrible. The way they described it and everything I hope it isn't true. I don't know what ill do if I end up seeing the Beastie, I don't think I can handle it. I stayed behind with the littluns while the other boys went out to look for it.

I cant imagine what's going to happen next. I don't know what to do. I just wasn't to get off this island and go home. I hope the boys are okay and maybe just maybe while they are out looking for the beastie they realize that we just need to do what we are supposed to do so we can get home.

I'm tired of getting treated wrong and being told what to do. I'm tired of not being listened to, and I don't like the fact that if I have something to say or an idea it isn't taken to consideration. it just isn't fair.

Chapter 5

         Dear Diary,

Everything is out of control! no one is listening and no one is doing their job. Ralph wants to call a meeting and I know its not going to be good because he was already frustrated about his hair and what not. Then, on top of that the littluns think that they had actually seen the beastie!

Poor Ralph is really losing control of the group. If everyone really does stop listening to him the worst that can happen is that they start listening to Jack. Now we all know how that will end up we will probably never get off of this island if that ends up being the

case. I just hope everyone gets it together ASAP!

Of course Jack doesn't worry anything about the beastie because he thinks that he can take it down no matter what as if he's some sort of super hero. He really thinks that everything is just a joke all he ever cares about is hunting, nothing more nothing less. He really is out of control and always feels the need to pick on me.

symbols

One of the symbols is the conch shell, the conch shell is something that they hold whenever they want to talk. They must all be quiet and listen to the person talking with the conch shell. Another thing the conch shell is used for is to cause meetings. Since Ralph is the leader whenever he wants to have a group discussion he will blow into the shell and that will let everyone know to get together.

 

Another symbol is the glasses, Piggy uses his glasses to see but Jack uses the glasses  to set the fire. They would take the lenses and focus the sun on them to create the fire. The glasses broke because of Jack so now he only has one lenses left to make the next fire.

 

The fire symbolizes hope, because they hope someone will see it so they can be rescued off the island.  Jack is the one who Is in charge of the fire. When the fire is rising they are hoping that they will be seen and then get rescued. They were close to getting rescued, but the fire went out last time.

chapter 4

Dear Diary,




Today was a rough day. We almost left the island we were so close to getting rescued and going home. Really I could feel it, I just knew that our time to get rescued was near. But then of course it all got messed up. Sam and Eric were supposed to be watching the fire, but they ended up leaving with Jack because he needed them on the hunt. While they were gone Ralph and I seen a ship, but the ship didn't notice us because the signal of the fire went out.




Ralph and I were so upset. I was so angry with Jack mostly because he just didn't care. He was too focused on the fact that him and the boys captured and slaughtered a pig. Jack was so excited about the blood that they seen. When I told him that there was a ship, but the fire went out so they didn't see us the only thing he could say is we could just build another one. For some reason Jack ended up getting mad at me as if it wasn't his fault that we aren't being rescued. The guys decided to have a feast since we are now stuck on the island for a longer amount of time and GUESS WHAT Jack said I cant get any meat! He said that I don't get any meat because I'm already fat  and because he tried to say that I wasn't helping, but neither were the other boys.I know its just because he doesn't like me, so I stood up to Jack. I just figured that I'm tired of being treated this way and it isn't fair. Jack punched me in the stomach and he slapped me, then my glasses broke. So now we only have one source left to start the fire because one of my lenses broke and that's what we used to start the first fire. I still got to have some meat because Simon shared with me, he's so nice.


I'm not sure how the day will go tomorrow, but I hope everything goes perfect and that we can get rescued. I don't think that the guys will mess up the fire again because of what happened today, well I hope they don't.  tomorrow I think that Ralph will be on Jack making sure that he isn't going to try and go hunting and doing things that he shouldn't be doing while we are trying  to leave. I hope that we all make it without fighting or someone dying, but yup that's how my day went today.

The Beastie

The littluns think that the beastie is a snake, but Ralph thinks that that’s just the littluns imagination or its some type of nightmare. Piggy doesn't believe in the beastie and Jack doesn't care but he says whatever it is he will kill it. Simon just thinks that the beastie is "them" he also believes that all people can be mean or nice, it's their decision about the way they want to act.

 

I believe that the beastie doesn't exist because I don’t think that "monsters" are real. I think that it all may be in their heads just like Ralph. If the beastie is real its probably some type of animal that hasn't been heard of.

chapter 3

dear diary,



Today they were trying to build a hut. I wasn't helping them because they wasn't going to listen to me anyways. So they think that I'm "lazy".



Ralph thinks that everyone is lazy. Jack thinks that going out to catch a pig instead of building a shelter is more important. Simon went out to the forest alone to see what was out there but, I don't know why he wanted to go by himself.



I don't know why anyone doesn't listen to me. I do have some good ideas that could get us somewhere. I just want to get off this island before something terrible happens.
